The wildly popular Fandango.com
has finally whipped out a free version of their movie listing website
for iPhone and iPod touch. This location based app conjures up
showtimes and nearby theaters by city, state or Zip Code. It also
offers immediate access to preview videos, a feature that was
surprisingly fluid to use. When the preview clip ends you're
immediately returned to the previous screen.
For a $1 service fee you can purchase tickets from right inside the application either by logging into your existing Fandango account or adding your credit card for instant ticket access anytime. One feature that's not so obvious is the ability to check future show times. Once you've selected a movie simply click the orange 'date' button. A date page will load, select the date you want and then select 'save' on the top right.
Another feature I found useful was the Coming Soon tab which allowed me to buy tickets for upcoming films. While I'm not a huge fan of paying an extra buck towards already inflated movie ticket prices, Fandango now makes it even more brainless to grab them on-the-go through iPhone. Fandango has delivered up a well tooled debut effort here. Quite possibly giving cult of iPhone fanatics the one movie app to rule them all.
